Powering Drones From the Ground—While They Fly
Drone operations are often limited by one key factor: endurance. Even advanced platforms must return to base for recharging or battery replacement, creating gaps...
Next-Gen Navigation System for GPS-Denied Environments
Xona Space Systems is making strides in providing an alternative to GPS with its cutting-edge Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) system, which has gained...
A Silent Signal Designed to Save Pets in Smoke-Filled Buildings
Fires move fast, and in smoke-filled homes visibility drops to near zero within minutes. Firefighters entering these environments are trained to search for people...
Fall Overboard? This Autonomous Drone Could Reach You Before the Rescue...
When someone falls overboard, time becomes the most critical factor in survival. Ships traveling at speed require time to stop, launch rescue craft, and...
Airborne Navigation System for Non-GPS Environments
A platform that blends the GPS satellite navigation system with inertial navigation system (INS) technology was needed at the U.S. Air Force. The solution...
Air Force Explores Atomic Clock-Based Navigation for GPS-Denied Drone Swarms
The US Air Force is advancing efforts to enable drone swarms to operate in environments where satellite navigation is denied or jammed. A recent...
The “Silent Ears” That Can Hear Artillery Fire
On modern battlefields, artillery and mortar fire can strike within seconds of launch. Detecting the origin of gunfire quickly is critical for both force...
A Missile No Heavier Than a Laptop Takes Aim at Drone...
The rapid spread of military drones has created a growing problem for air-defense forces. Many attack drones are inexpensive to produce, yet they are...
The Moon Will Soon Have its Own GPS
Chinese scientists at the Beijing Institute of Spacecraft System Engineering are planning to develop a navigation system around the moon to support Beijing’s lunar...
When GPS Goes Dark, This Drone Keeps Flying
Modern unmanned systems rely heavily on satellite navigation, but in many operational environments GPS has become a fragile resource. Adversaries now routinely jam or...
This Robot Sees Threats on the Ground — and Now in...
Unmanned ground vehicles are increasingly used to reduce risk to personnel in complex environments, but they face a persistent weakness: exposure to small, hard-to-detect...
AI-Driven Threat Detection Enhances EAGLS Air Defense Platform
A new integration of artificial intelligence into the EAGLS defense platform is set to significantly upgrade its capability to detect and neutralize airborne threats,...
This “Unjammable” Navigation Tech Uses the Earth Itself
Modern military navigation depends heavily on satellite signals, a vulnerability that is becoming harder to ignore. GPS jamming, spoofing, and signal denial are now...
Researchers Trace Years of GPS Disruptions to a Suspected Space-Based Source
GPS and other satellite navigation systems have become essential infrastructure for aviation, maritime transport, communications, and critical timing networks. When these signals are disrupted,...
